gsCurrentBasicIntroduction = "Kryptos is a heavy metal band from Bangalore, India, formed in 1998 by Nolan Lewis (vocals/guitars) and Ganesh K. (bassist). They have long been considered to be one of the true spearheads of the Indian metal revolution upholding the old school metal ethos laid down by the 80's NWOBHM/Thrash movements. Since their inception, the band has released three albums. Spiral Ascent in 2004, The Ark of Gemini in 2008 through OSM Records, California and The Coils of Apollyon in 2013 through AFM Records, Germany."

"Kryptos was formed in late 1998, Essentially a classic heavy metal band, they focus on fusing NWOBHM stylings with elements of 1980's thrash metal.

"The first album Spiral Ascent was released in 2004, which quickly spread through the underground circuit in India as well as countries like Germany, Argentina and other parts of Europe.
